David Jolly: Republicans Are ‘Weak-kneed Ideologues’ on Gun Control

EXCERPT:

JOLLY: "Because they're weak-kneed ideologues. You know what I hate in the Republican Party, is people that say, I'm a hunter, I like to own guns and I'm going to fight for the right to own guns, but they don't have the courage to stand in front of the American people and actually admit that they don't have solutions to these issues and they are hiding from the American people on it. They are weak-kneed ideologues. Last year in the state of Florida, Republicans tried to pass open carry, not concealed carry, and guns on campuses. Students could walk into a classroom, lay their gun on their desk. Fortunately, that got killed. Those are the politics of the Republican Party right now. Chris, I'm a Republican and I wish Republicans would address universal background checks, responsible gun control measures. But they're not doing that. And so it's not that I want Democrats for ideological reasons to take control of the House, but the reality is, in the wake of these mass casualty firearm events --"
CUOMO: "Right."
JOLLY: "Only the Democrats are speaking to reasonable gun control today. Republicans are hiding from the American people."
